Ray has become a complete joke

[tonyto3690]

Like everyone, I started off angry when he left for the Heat.  Then I let it go and got excited about our season and so many promising pieces- Lee, Jet, Sullinger, Rondo, etc.  But lately he's let all the dirty laundry out to dry in some attempt to clear his name.  Putting blame on the Celtics ownership?  Blaming Doc for not caring?  And I just saw a headline on ESPN from Ray... "After this Celtics game, we need to move on".

LOL WHAT?

No Ray, YOU need to move on.  KG has deleted your number.  Pierce hasn't talked to you since then.  Rondo has stomped out as much conversation on you as possible.  The only one talking is you and technically Doc since he is asked questions point blank about your recent comments and forced to talk about you.  YOU are the one who went out of his way to set up three interviews with major newspapers so you could get your personal two cents out in the news.


Cripes, what a joke he has become.  Favorite player now one of my most disliked.  What a snobby self entitled brat.

Yea definitely an egomaniac , but what would you expect from someone who played a character named "jesus" who was the chosen one in "who got game" starring next to denzel?

The c's offered twice the money and no trade clause. Ray is just a bitter, delusional, egomaniac . Can't wait to see Lee and Bradley shut him down while Terry lights him up.

I don't see anything wrong with the "let's move on" thing.

He keeps getting asked questions about his departure by the media.  He's been accommodating to the press, answering those questions with more candor than he probably should have.

Now, he realizes all of this is a distraction, and is saying it's time to move on.  He's directing that at the media, not at the Celtics, I think.  In that case, I don't see a lot of room for criticism.

I find him to be a loathsome creature.  The boo fest he will endure when he returns to the Garden will be brutal and deserved.  Here's to candor Ray Ray.  We will enjoy being candid with you upon your return.

[Onslaught]

I don't think it's all that big a deal. The media is looking to make this as big as they can. The ask him questions all the time trying to get him to say things. The guy left so he wasn't happy and if he wasn't happy then he's not going to say 100% nice things about the Celtics.

At this point I no longer give a darn.

[Celtics4ever]

I think this will make the MIA game more interesting.

[dark_lord]

ray is bitter and acting like a baby.  i say let him talk and dont respond back to it.  it will just further reinforce his bitterness. he chose to leave

[celtics2]

Allen made the correct move if he wants another ring. The Celts as exciting as they are going to be don't qualify yet to be anywhere near the Heat's talent. Unless a couple additional players aside from KG, Rondo and Pierce step up big time they will go through us like crap through a goose in the end. As for the Celts except for a few starters the rest are untested under pressure. As the season wears we'll see. Miami has to prove nothing, us everything.

Allen should be respected for what he has done for us in the past. All this talk is cosmetic. I for one am glad he left and opened up maybe a new era for the Celts.

He wants us to move on the same way everyone caught with the hand in the cookie jar wants to move on.  Sorry Ray. If you wanted a normal life without the questions and boos you should have stayed here. I am moving on to the place where I permanently declare you a jerk and permanently treat you that way. Because that's what you are. If you don't like it then maybe you should have thought of that.  This is sports. You are entitled to making emotion based decisions to go to the Heat and I am allowed to make emotion based decisions too. So now you need to move on to the place where you are the bad guy for a long time. You don't have to like it.

Seems irrelevant to me, only hearing one side of the story "Ray's side" and he's getting hammered from it, I don't want to see the reaction if we'd hear the other side of the situation.

So that Ray's words are being used against him, is telling.

I saw Ray as one of the classiest dudes in the NBA, up until this whole storm of bs. This just doesn't seem like him. But it leads me to understand that he's really upset, and he, himself feels like the team spit in his face.

Ray obviously had good, personal reasoning for leaving such a good situation, and we don't know nearly the half of it, I'll tell you.

He's obviously upset, and feels betrayed, himself. He didn't just up and leave, for the sake of sticking it to Boston.

Irrational thinking on his part, or not, he feels like we didn't treat him how he deserved, so big ego or no big ego, I would leave too, if I felt disrespected by my team.

Edit; I would just like to say, I don't agree with his decision, ESPECIALLY the team he went to. He's been talking too much, and just should have kept quiet about it, obviously.
